It almost like we haven't left California

But then more than half of Lake Tahoe is in California and you don't have to come to Nevada to gamble any more.
Speaking of gambling, I actually sat down at one of those infernal poker machines, put in a five dollar bill, played for about 45 minutes and won a nickel. Most of the time I was down about 35 to 50 cents, but at the end I hit a little streak. I decided to quit while I was ahead.
It's all really kind of stupid. The nickel machines are probably the cheapest entertainment... other than penny machines... that can be found around here. Yet I have a difficult time even thinking about playing. How is that any worse than golf, fishing or blogging?

Back to normal Anderson today.
